Richard Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 These guys are carnies out in the lake so make sure you give them a high protein diet in the tanks. Lots of frozen brine shrimp and NLS cichlid formula should get them growing next to no time. HTH Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzzy Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 NLS Grow depending on size and then NLS cichlid formula (1mm). I feed mine soley on NLS. sometimes then get some baby brine if i have excess from a hatch, but that would be less than once a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herefishiefishie Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Stay away from the bloodworms. Another thing you can feed them is frozen mysis shrimp. Mine love those. Frenchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilli Powder Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 no one mentioned frozen blood worms arent these supposed to be full of protein.i use nls thera a on all my other fish so i will give that a go. Perhaps live blood worms do (not sure though) but frozen ones have less than 5% nutrional value!! Their bodies are also covered in spikes and they get caught in the intestines either ripping them or clogging them up! This info was presented by a vet here in Melb called Dr Jim Greenwood. Was done at an EDAS meeting also, did you buy your fish as 'Fire Fins' or Alto 'Kigoma'? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiz Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I'm after some fire fin comps, have tried many times to get into the buy sell section but when I try to post something it won't allow me. It seems to allow me to do it here though. I've emailed admin 4 times but keep getting sent back a blank email Can anyone out there help steer me in the right direction on how to post something on the buy/sell section or if anyone knows how I can get some of these fish Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
